Regression

I had an unexpected visit from my closest friend and her fifteen year old son this morning. Game Fanatic was pleased to play his games with another competent player. Lego Lover must have woken up shortly after they arrived and he was in a foul mood. He’s known both since he was born but we’ve not met for quite some time. Lego Lover might have just stayed in his room and kept to himself. Instead, he decided to attach himself to me and regressed to some of the less appropriate behavior he had when he was younger. Typically, he locked himself away after the visitors had gone. With this friend, I don’t have to feel any embarrassment but it was a nuisance to have our visit sabotaged by this behavior.

This is mostly a regressive blip, though, when looking at the overall picture of Lego Lover. It’s been a great joy to watch him as he matures and takes such pleasure out of life for the past year.
